Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 1073: Chapter 583: Annihilating the Sect

After crossing an ocean, Li Yuanba entered the Central State Continent for the first time.

The fourth-grade flying boat’s speed was indeed not slow, hovering at about ten thousand meters, flying beneath the Thirty-Three Heavens. At this altitude, unless approaching a power’s major formation, it was not easy to be noticed.

Throughout the journey, Guo Ping was teaching Li Yuanba how to coordinate with other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators in the team, the formations used by the team normally, and combat habits.

Guo Ping was a very meticulous Sword Cultivator, something you could judge just from his speech.

It’s no wonder Yun Xiao had him help Li Yuanba familiarize himself with the team’s formations, as he perfectly completed Yun Xiao’s task.

”Li Yuanba, when the ambush happens, you must strike with full force, but don’t use the Nascent Soul Dharma Form. It’s best to kill the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Flower Butterfly Sect before they can react and display their Nascent Soul Dharma Forms!” Yun Xiao instructed again as they approached the Flower Butterfly Sect’s mountain gate.

”I understand!” Li Yuanba nodded seriously in response.

Yun Xiao then looked at the other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, who nodded back at him.

He waved his hand to stow away the fourth-grade flying boat and took out a talisman to activate it. The talisman turned into a faint gray mist, enveloping the entire team.

Li Yuanba discovered that the talisman deployed one of the extremely rare types of fourth-grade spells, used to hide one’s aura.

What surprised him most was Yun Xiao deploying such a talisman as a routine measure.

One must know that such talismans were exceptionally precious.

Having studied the formation, Li Yuanba stood in his spot, following the team as they flew forward.

He maintained his distance from the other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators while activating the ’Divine Eye Vision’ to observe the Flower Butterfly Sect’s mountain gate.

Situated in a group of mountains, the Flower Butterfly Sect had abundant spiritual energy. All around the mountain gate grew various spirit flowers, with butterflies and bees dancing among the blooms, which probably explains the sect’s name.

The main source of income for the Flower Butterfly Sect was Spirit Flower Honey.

However, that was previously; Li Yuanba learned from the information in the Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion that the Flower Butterfly Sect had drastically changed its style over the past century, with traces of demonic influence behind them, committing many heinous acts.

If that were all, Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion wouldn’t interfere, but when a Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Flower Butterfly Sect attacked mortals and abducted a Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion cultivator’s mundane relatives to cultivate demonic arts, that led Sword Intent Chongxiao Pavilion to issue a task to annihilate the Flower Butterfly Sect.

”The probability of my array-breaking talisman breaching this formation is only twenty percent. If it fails, we’ll concentrate all efforts to break the formation. Though this will alert the Flower Butterfly Sect’s cultivators, there’s no other choice!” Yun Xiao said, taking out an Array Breaking Talisman.

Because of the previous talisman’s effect, the team had reached the formation without being noticed by it.

Li Yuanba sensed the formation and realized it was rather ordinary, not particularly complex.

”Yun Xiao, I have some research on formations. May I try to break this formation first?” Upon hearing only a twenty percent chance, Li Yuanba hurriedly spoke up.

”Then it’s up to you to break the formation. Don’t feel pressured; anyway, the success rate of using the array-breaking talisman is low. Just consider the talisman as spent if it fails!” Yun Xiao agreed almost without hesitation.

Utilizing the ’Divine Eye Vision,’ Li Yuanba observed the formation and mentally contacted the IBMz15, commencing analysis on the formation before him.

Nowadays, the IBMz15’s database of formation knowledge had been greatly supplemented. Although the Ten Thousand Beast Sect wasn’t particularly skilled in formations, their foundational expertise was extremely profound.

In his eyes, IBMz15 marked out a network of Spiritual Power Pattern routes, clarifying the relationship between nodes and Spiritual Power Pattern routes.

He stretched out his hand, tapping lightly several times on the formation before him. Subsequently, something astonishing happened to Yun Xiao and the other Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators as a passage appeared in the formation before them.

”Li Yuanba, you’re impressive. If this is just research, then those Array Masters should feel ashamed!” Du Lei praised with a thumbs-up.

”No more talking, prepare to enter the Flower Butterfly Sect!” Yun Xiao glanced at Du Lei, speaking in a low voice.

Without the formation, the team entered the Flower Butterfly Sect’s mountain gate through the passage created by Li Yuanba.

Although Yun Xiao stopped Du Lei from speaking, the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators in the team frequently looked at Li Yuanba, becoming increasingly satisfied with him.

Sword Cultivators do not fear combat, but asking them to intimately study formations is demanding.

Sword Cultivators require long-term cultivation methods and must constantly refine their Lifebound Flying Swords, expending most of their time on these aspects to become the strongest attacking profession.

But they would certainly not refuse to have a companion skilled in formations by their side, whose ability to effortlessly break formations solves many troubles for them.

”The eight Nascent Soul Cultivators’ abodes are located there!” Yun Xiao took out a map, pointing at the eight peaks in the center of the mountain gate.

They were already within combat range, capable of attacking the eight peaks at any moment.

”Li Yuanba, if you have any wide-range attacks, just use them as much as possible to cover more peaks!” Yun Xiao emphasized to Li Yuanba.

His intention was for Li Yuanba’s attack to act as a disturbance, aiding them in targeting and slaying the opponents upon sensing the Nascent Soul Cultivators.
